return of the Cafe' Racer



With its all new Unit Construction Engine & EFI, Royal Enfield wishes to repeat the history with Cafe' Racer. The original styling & subculture that originated in European countries in 1960s, Cafe Racer bikes were modified for speed and handling rather than comfort. Cafe racers' bodywork and control layout typically mimicked the style of contemporary Grand Prix roadracers featuring an elongated fuel tank, often with dents to allow the riders knees to grip the tank, low slung racing handlebars, and a single, rearwardly mounted, humped seat.















Addition to the contemporary changes and advancement Royal Enfield is now seeking to boost production up to 1.5 lakh units per annum from the first quarter of the next fiscal year with the opening of a second plant at Oragadam near Chennai, also the CEO Venki Padmanabhan promises to bring down the waiting period for customers to receive their bikes.

  2. The more motorcycles that are "acceptable" the more fun diversity and breaking done myths. I'm going to a trike at age 61

  3. going to a trike at age 61 ?
    How about riding a Royal Enfield ‘Bullet 500’ with a Watsonian sidecar (making a trike)? I’m pretty sure the Castelli couple will look classy!

    Keep Riding !

    Warm Regards,
